    Thought about the over, but my gut is telling me one of these bozos is gonna bend over and take it. Hope I am on the correct bozo.

    Krajicek v Parmentier. They both suck, worth having something on the dog or the over 20?

    You should consult tevari on WTA. I'm not playing much on the WTA side other than some fade material here and there, at least not until late in the tournament. ATP is better for me.

    Well at least the read was right on Klizan. Easiest winner of the day maybe besides Sock - both absolute beat downs on their opponents. Feel okay missing it though. Too often I've played too many matches on Day 1 and got buried. Modest winning day is perfect to start to me. Treat it like a golf tournament where you're building to your best.

    Qualis Record: 9-11 (+0.39)
    Main Draw Record: 3-1 (+0.88]

    A good start today. Reads were good even on the ones I passed on for the most part. Free plays didn't pan out, but I didn't expect them to be more than dart board shots. Staying balanced again tomorrow with the half unit wagers.

    Istomin I really wanted to pick against him, but Zopp just hasn't shown enough I don't think to win in a Best of 5 format. If it was a regular best of 3, maybe I'd go with Zopp ... Istomin's performances lately have been bad. This should be a good surface for him though, but I thought that for the hard courts he had played on this summer and sucked on.
    was just thinking about this. could have made some nice coin

    Good call on Lopez, luckily I hit on Sock unless today would have been a disaster. BOL tomorrow. I have very strange feeling Garcia-Lopez upsets Monaco tomorrow.

    Yeah that was a nice win for Zopp too. Another one where at least the gut feeling was right, although I don't cash in on it. Istomin has really fallen off the map since Wimbledon.

    Like I said earlier, having a modest winning day and missing out on some winners is okay by me. I've played man a Slam where I thought I had a bunch of prospective winners ... played too many and wound up going 1-5 or something worse. Time to homework up for Tuesday.

    great call on zopp and also not putting too much at stake on opening day. ur assessment of istomin saved me some serious dough.

    Don't forget to hit up the betpoints forum for my TOTAL ANNIHILATION thread to win my betpoints on alternate totals for a couple of these matches.

    I like Jimmy Wang for some reason as well. Jumped to +125....probably a good time to take a stab if ever.

    Wang jumped to +135 right before I submitted.
    I'll take a guy who blew threw quali's against a guy who hasn't played in about 6 weeks because of a foot injury. Let's see if he generates his normal serve velocity with a recovering pushoff foot. Always the possiblity of a retirement, or gasses out if the thing extends to 4 or 5 sets.

    Yeah I mean Karlovic could come out and dominate him if everything is 100% and clicking, but even before the injury his year was pretty poor. Wang might not be great at any one thing, but as long as he gets his serve in consistently and places it - that should at worst keep him deep into sets. It was Wang or Stepanek for me and the calculated risk was Wang in the end as although I do think Stepanek can win today, Almagro is tougher than most think on hard courts and has proven so before.

    how do you feel about Berdych and Roanic today? i have them pretty big in a parlay. wtt just said he sees Berdych going down today, i personally don't see it after he got some of his game back in his last tourney...is Roanic used to going 5 sets if necc?

    I wouldn't have used Berdych simply because of the way he has struggled mostly until this past week in Winston-Salem. For the price, he's not worth the risk to me. Raonic I think will win in 4 at the most as long as he's serving well to start. For high chalk I would rather have used Tsonga or Querrey or someone like that who both have better match-ups IMO. Goffin can be a tricky little dude if he gets into Berdych's service games regularly.

    End of the day, I do think Berdych survives as I think he has a decent draw to the quarters just like he has had most tourneys this Summer ... but that has been the problem is that he hasn't played consistently and taken advantage.

    Wang! What is going on with Jaziri? Won first set 6-3 then only won 2 games since going into the 4th.

    Need him to bounce back and win the 4th so the over can hit

    Knew these sets with Darcis-Jaziri had lopsided potential but expected more of the 6-3 variety than 6-1s. Well at least Almagro-Stepanek is an over as long as they finish up with no shenanigans.

    Yeah I like Wawrinka. I expect it to be tight and he might drop a set, but should pass.

    All those guys have some risk today but should win. Even though its impossible to know what Dolgopolov shows up first, it is a good spot for him playing someone who doesn' know his oddball game.

    Really need King +2.5, hoping this one stays very close... thought she'd be able to make it 5-5 there... damn, need 2nd set.

    This Wawrinka effort smells a lot like last year against Donald Young. What a mook.

    Well either a good or great day depending on the Schiavone total. Winning a WTA side feels like I just snuck in and banged a Victoria Secret model without them realizing I was there. Sneak attack.
